🌟 LAURA COLLETT AT HARLING WOOD STUD 🌟

We have an amazing opportunity to welcome Laura Collett to Harling Wood Stud for a full day of training on Wednesday 21st October.

Laura really needs no introduction. She is one of the leading riders in the world, with an extraordinary record that includes Olympic team gold 🥇 at Tokyo and Paris, individual Olympic bronze 🥉 in Paris, 2025 European individual gold, a Badminton win in 2022 and a Luhmühlen CCI5 win in 2023*. She is currently ranked 3rd in the FEI world rankings for eventing.

📅 Wednesday 21st October
💷 £75 per rider
📍 Harling Wood Stud, Norfolk

Before we open formal bookings, we’re asking riders to register their interest / pre-book a space so we can get an idea of how many riders we’ll be hosting and, importantly, what levels everyone is currently jumping.

That will allow us to work with Laura to structure the day properly, including the number of sessions and the most appropriate height groups, so that everyone gets the best possible experience from the clinic.

If you’d like to take part, please send us a message or comment below with:

* Rider name
* Horse name
* Current jumping height / level
* Preferred session height

We’re incredibly excited to have the opportunity to host Laura for the day and to bring another exceptional training opportunity to Harling Wood.

YOUNG HORSE RIDER / PRODUCER WANTED

We’re looking for an experienced, confident rider to join the team at Harling Wood Stud and take a lead role in the education of our young horses.

We have a growing number of highly bred young sport horses, predominantly warmbloods, being produced for showjumping and eventing, and we need someone who is genuinely experienced with youngsters from the very beginning.

The role will include taking horses from being essentially unhandled babies through to the point where they are safe, confident and ready to begin their competitive education.

You’ll be responsible for:

* Groundwork and general handling
* Teaching youngsters to stand for the farrier
* Loading and travelling preparation
* Lunging and long-reining
* Backing and starting under saddle
* Walking, trotting and cantering away
* Hacking them out in the forest
* Building confidence in different environments
* Producing them to the point where they are sensible, rideable and ready to move on with their education

This is not a role for someone who is nervous around young horses. Young horses can be sharp, unpredictable and occasionally ridiculous, so we need someone who is brave, calm, lightweight, balanced and experienced enough to deal with whatever they throw at you without losing their head.

The ideal person will be:

* A confident, gutsy rider
* Lightweight and effective
* Very experienced with young warmbloods/sport horses
* Calm, patient and consistent
* Happy to work hard
* Sensible rather than reckless
* Comfortable backing and riding away youngsters independently
* Used to dealing with fresh, sharp and highly bred horses
* Someone who genuinely enjoys producing young horses

The mornings will also involve helping the team get the yard finished - mucking out, general yard duties, feeding etc. Once the yard is sorted, the main focus of the day will be working with the youngsters.

This will be a really important role within the team. We already have a large number of young horses and that number is only increasing, so for the right person there is plenty of responsibility, variety and opportunity.

Would suit someone from a strong producing yard, racing/eventing/showjumping background and used to working hard and riding lots of young horses.

If you have balls of steel, soft hands and plenty of experience with babies, we’d love to hear from you.

📍 Harling Wood Stud, Norfolk
📩 Please message with your experience, riding background and ideally videos of you riding/producing young horses.

A LITTLE REMINDER THAT FEEDING SHOULDN’T BE GUESSWORK

Recently, we felt one of our young competition horses needed a little extra, and our first thought was to add a supplement.

We spoke to Amy Stone at Equine products uk ltd 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 and, rather than simply selling us something, she first asked what he was already being fed, how much he was getting and his actual weight.

He’s currently fed on Saracen Horse Feeds Enduro-Performance, and once everything was calculated against his weight, it turned out he didn’t need another supplement at all - we simply needed to increase the amount of his existing feed.

It was a really good reminder of why having accurate information and knowledgeable people around you matters.

Having our Weighed In Ltd weighbridge on site means we know what our horses actually weigh rather than estimating. Combine that with quality feeds such as Saracen and access to knowledgeable professionals like Amy and the teams at Equine Products and Saracen, and we can make much more informed decisions about each horse’s nutrition.

Checking your horse’s weight alongside the manufacturer’s recommended feeding rate is so important. Their requirements will vary according to weight, workload, condition and individual needs — and adding another product isn’t necessarily the answer.

Sometimes the best advice is being told you don’t need to buy anything at all.

For us, good management is about taking the guesswork out of it wherever we can.

*For reference: Scooby is a 5-year-old, 16.2hh warmblood weighing 596kg and, at his current workload, requires 3.5kg of Saracen Enduro-Performance per day.
